I've no idea which is which (dark/White etc) but I tend to prefer hanging out around Ladybower/Edale/Castleton etc etc.
Recommend me a route? Circa 15miles. I was going to ride up Mam Tor, then over to Cavedale, turn right at the bottom- through pindale, up towards Beast then back again to Edale otherwise.
cutgate, snake road, doctors gate, longdendale trail, snow road...............and a big portion of MTFU................15 miles ffs........... 🙄
ton, I don't have the time. I've got to get up with the Cows and be back lunchtimish to spend sometime with the horaette's.
Rushup Edge is a snow/slush/mudfest today - which may be a good or bad thing depending on if your going up or down it
mark..............i missed this 😉 off
mam tor un rideable as of yesterday, through to chapel gate, all snow bound cant see it having melted from yesterday, jacobs ladder un rideble until the very last rocky descent down to penine bridleway. Was quite deep as of 2 pm yesterday, id head over to ladybower for a full ride, as the mam tor jacobs ladder routes will include of pushing!
(mutters) bloody kids n wimin 😆
Rushup Edge and Chapelgate were rideable today, albeit with a few stops to lift the bike over snowdrifts
yeah lots of snow going up jacobs ladder and worst of it was the sunken road just before rushup edge, lots of pushing
great fun tho 🙂
you ridden chinley? its poss a bit closer to you
Chinley Churn? No. Hang on.
Too short at 14km and no techy bits?
Do Chinley and Rowarth
Or Strines and Rowarth
Both are going to be over 20km
Yeah its not particularly tech, I just thought its short quick and close
Head for Dover - and keep on going when you get to the big puddle...
The Sanity Assassin please come with me. I'll need something thats full of hot air to use to get across.
Hora, welcome to the world of cindertrackerella, where your bike gets transformed into a pumpkin if you're late back... Quickest cindertrackerella blasts from s Manchester are rides from roman lakes or hayfield, defo
Interesting ride. Abused on Cavedale by some walkers who *swear* its a footpath 🙄 and then I climbed upto Mam tor on the sharpest road climb known to man- all in hail and horizontal rain.
I think its Roman Lakes/Hayfield going foward and more night rides though as I was late back.
I've taken to always carrying an os map with me, if people are so sure about it being a footpath then I give them the chance to prove it... a little bit of educating the masses.
Odd you had such bad weather, its been glorious here in sheff

wierd as chuff- One front went past me down the valley chucking it down then another came over me, blue skies, then again chucking it down and etc etc. Wierd. The hail was towards the end.
I did Pooks chute though- VERY muddy until the last chuffing bend. 😐
